REGISTER.COM LAUNCHES "FIRST STEP" PARTNERS PROGRAM

For the First Time, E-Businesses of Any Size Can Get Customized, Co-Branded
Domain Name Registration Services

NEW YORK, NY -- August 9, 1999 Register.com, Inc. (www.register.com), the
largest independent domain name registrar on the Internet, today launched
the "First Step" Partner program, naming more than 20 Internet businesses
as its initial partners. First Step Partners which include Internet
Service Providers (ISPs), Web hosting companies, and other e-businesses
will receive personalized, co-branded domain registration sites, providing
their customers with the easiest and most comprehensive registration
services available on the Internet.

"For the first time in the history of the Internet, e-businesses have an
alternative in who will register .com, .net and .org domain names for their
customers," said Richard Forman, CEO and President of register.com. "Before
de-regulation of this industry, small and medium on-line services companies
had no choice in service, price or product. With register.com's First Step
Program, we'll be providing our partners with essentially their own branded
domain name registration service linked directly to their site, and at the
same time benefiting their end-users with superior services."

As part of the program, register.com First Step Partners will receive:
State-of-the-art domain name registration services that are fast and easy
to use; A selection of over fifteen (15) top level domains from .ac to .vg;
Commission on all domain names registered; Greater control over domain
modifications through register.com's Domain Manager.

As part of the US government's effort to deregulate the domain name
registration market, register.com was the first registrar to go compete
against Network Solutions (Nasdaq:NSOL) by going "live" in registering
.com, .net and .org domain names. In addition, the company was selected as
one of the first five "test bed" registrars accredited by ICANN, the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

"The greatest advantages to being a register.com First Step Partner is that
it allows me to manage my customers' domains directly in real time and
incorporate top-class domain name registration while still promoting my own
business services," said Steve Skinner, President of DotCom Information
Services (www.dotcomis.com). "This way, my customers can take care of
purchasing their domains and still remain linked to my site so I don't lose
any traffic."

Register.com First Step Partners include the following companies:
10-10-net.com, Kenneth City, FL; 2CoolWeb.com, Dallas, TX; Advanced Access,
(www.advancedaccess.com), Anaheim, CA; Chapel Services (www.chapel1.com),
Richmond, KY; Domain Avenue, (www.domainavenue.com), Hackensack, NJ; DotCom
Information Services (www.dotcomis.com), Long Beach, CA; Everyones Internet
(www.ev1.net), Houston, TX; GalaxNet.com, Paducah, KY; globalspace.net,
Dallas TX; Granite Canyon Group, LLC, (www.granitecanyon.com), Colorado
Springs, CO; iRegistry.com, Owings Mills, MD; New Dream Network

Capistrano Beach, CA; Windco.com, Inc., Chestnut Ridge, NY; and WT.net,
Houston, TX.
